Contactless Candy Machine - Halloween 2020
Making this contactless candy vending machine was a blast!
My brother, Ben, and I designed it together. He handled the gadgetry (sensors, motor, wiring, and programming) and I took on the 3D modeling, prototyping, and printing for the the rack & pinion, candy magazine, and overall structure. Full credit to my brother for suggesting the "airport luggage conveyor belt flaps" where the candy comes out. Nice touch, right? The Arduino and STL files are available on GitHub.
Feel free to contact me with any questions...or if you're looking to hire a newly minted mechanical engineer.
